" FOLDING, ISPLAY-Box.-

To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, cL RENeE E. ISACKlQ,

a subject of theKing of Great Britain, and a resident of the city ofNew York, (borough of Manhattan) in the county andState of New York, have ,invented a new and Improved Folding 'DisplayeBox, of which the following I I is afull, clear, and exactdescription, r

The invention relates to an advertising device,.-particularly to a device for advertising cigars, and it comprises a' peculiarly-cone" structed dummy box, which is formed of paper, cardboard, or equivalent material, and

arranged'so that it can be shipped flat, thus efiiectmggreat economy in space, so that when assembled intoproperform and ainted or covered with painted or printed s -eets it will closely resemble an open box containing cigars.

The advantage in thedevice lies in the fact.

that: it forms an extremely cheap substitute for the display-boxes commonly used by retail cigar-dealers. In the retail, cigar trade it'is customary to exhibit boxes of cigars in the show-windows. The cigars so exhibited soon spoiland if not entirely lost to the dealermust be sold at a considerable reduc tion. By-means' of my invention this loss is avoided andthe dealer is enabled at a much less expenditure to display any number of the dummy boxes.
